12 Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: "Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place."
13 But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude."
14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, "Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty."
15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
16 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
18 And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: "Who do the multitudes say that I am?"
